In Amelia Island they tell you, “Come Make Memories” and they mean it. This beautiful barrier Island on the northeastern tip of Florida, is a luxury getaway, treasured for its long stretches of quiet beaches, natural beauty, unique history, and charming seaport character. Just thirteen miles long and two miles wide, surrounded by intracoastal waterways and the Atlantic Ocean, the Island offers some of the finest and most affordable culinary experiences in Florida.
It draws visitors for its charm, but a mixture of beautiful uncrowded beaches coupled with places such as the quaint downtown area of Fernandina Beach makes it very special. In Fernandina Beach you will not see big box properties or chain stores, just beautiful and unique shops and places to take refreshment. The variety of family-friendly activities make it an amazing opportunity for family fun, keeping the kids occupied, and allowing the adults to enjoy relaxation. Explore history at the Fort Clinch State Park, water sports on the safe intercoastal waterways, dolphin spotting, or enjoying the many festivals that take place on the Island throughout the year.
This is a luxury island without a luxury price tag where food and beverages are among the finest and best value in Florida. It is perfect for families but also has that romantic vibe that attracts those who want to get married or simply have the honeymoon of their dreams. Or perhaps couples who have grown to love Florida and are now looking for something extra special to add to their memories.
